Pierre Toutain-Dorbec / Photographer Publisher

Pierre Toutain-Dorbec / Photographer Publisher Peter Toutain-Dorbec is a photographer, author and publisher. Est. 1968
- Droits d'auteur gérés par l'ADAGP.

In a photographic odyssey that has lasted over fifty years, Pierre-Toutain Dorbec has traveled the globe, camera in tow, capturing the ephemera and fragility of the passing world: from wars and tragedies, to chance encounters and the customs and rituals of regional culture, to a pictorial honoring of the human saga. Guided by his own inner compass, Toutain-Dorbec has traveled freely, without any p

reconceived notions—an unflagging sense of curiosity and adventure, wedded to his artistic vision, which has resulted in a rich and comprehensive aesthetic legacy. He has published nearly sixty books, and his photographs have appeared in many prominent international magazines.

On the walls and streets of Palermo, posters bloom like wildflowers of resistance, summoning voices of defiance — a call to rise against the shadows of the mafia and the tyranny of the "pizzo", the extortion money imposed on shopkeepers, businesses, and ordinary lives.

Set along the coast of Taormina, Isola Bella, together with the ancient Greek Theatre, stands as one of the town’s most iconic landmarks. Picturesque and enchanting, the island retains all of its natural beauty and timeless charm. From our terrace, my wife delights in the view of Isola Bella and the Mediterranean, a scene she could admire for days without end.

The Sicilian landscapes and the quiet, dusty roads are something I love to capture, like this one winding between Corleone and Lercara Friddi.

In the quiet of her Rajasthani home a little girl lifts her doll to her face as if it were a camera. She pretends to photograph me as I photograph her, framing her world through imagination. Her smile radiates a simple happiness—an echo of the joy that photography itself can bring.

On the banks of the Bagmati River in Nepal, I paused to watch a Newar man bathe his buffalo. With quiet devotion, he rubbed the animal’s dark hide, allowing the river to wash away the dust from the fields. There was a tenderness in his movements and a rhythm between man and beast, as if the water itself strengthened their bond.
